When house-hunting, it is very important that you do your research on a home. If you can, stick your head up in the attic. Are the rafters any other color than natural wood? If the wood is painted white, the home has most likely been involved in some sort of fire. The white paint helps cover up scorch marks and also helps eliminate the smell of smoke.
This should not be an automatic deal-killer. Just be educated and know that repairs were completed by a professional and that warranties are in place before moving forward in purchasing a home. Your Realtor & Home Inspector can help you with this too..
